Weekly Scenario: What Becomes of a Deceased Person’s Online AccountsPost Date: 2015-01-15 21:27:43 by A K A Stone3 CommentsQuestion: You have referenced so called digital assets in some of your blogs such as giving an agent authority over such assets in a power of attorney. However Id like to know what becomes of a deceased persons online accounts (Twitter, email, facebook) after death? Who has access to these accounts and what type of access is generally granted Answer: There is no uniform legislation in place today which answers the question as to what should become of a decedents online accounts. However, very recently a uniform law committee which designs uniform law across the board endorsed a plan to address the question. The plan will give individuals access to, but no ...

CAUSE OF DEATH: Militant Atheism Post Date: 2014-10-13 10:35:34 by Liberator16 CommentsReligion and Politics Cause of Death: Militant AtheismCause of Death:Militant AtheismPublished on Monday, 10 February 2014 00:03 | Written by Diane Weber Bederman | We are living through a time when those who believe in God are treated with disdain. The late Christopher Hitchens, and the lively Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins attack people who believe in God. Harris wrote in his book End of Faith that religion represents the most potent source of human conflict, past and present. Richard Dawkins said: I am a fairly militant atheist, with a fair degree of active hostility toward religion. I certainly was hostile toward it at school, from the age of about sixteen onwards. ...

Buchanan: Is Putin One Of Us?Post Date: 2013-12-20 19:02:48 by Brian S1 CommentsIs Vladimir Putin a paleoconservative? In the culture war for mankinds future, is he one of us? While such a question may be blasphemous in Western circles, consider the content of the Russian presidents state of the nation address. With America clearly in mind, Putin declared, In many countries today, moral and ethical norms are being reconsidered. Theyre now requiring not only the proper acknowledgment of freedom of conscience, political views and private life, but also the mandatory acknowledgment of the equality of good and evil. Translation: While privacy and freedom of thought, religion and speech are cherished rights, to equate ...

Jason Babin Rips Dreadlocks Out of Andre Ellington’s Head, Throws Hair to TurfPost Date: 2013-11-18 08:35:18 by Hondo682 Comments This may serve as a lesson not to wear dreadlocks in the NFL. Jaguars defensive end Jason Babin ripped a clump of dreads from Andre Ellingtons head. We can only assume this happened on a -1 yard reception by the Cardinals running back with about three minutes left in the third quarter. Babin made the tackle on that play.

White guy wins after leading voters to believe he’s black Post Date: 2013-11-09 11:24:39 by Hondo687 Comments HOUSTON -- Dave Wilson chuckles as he talks about his unorthodox political campaign. "I'd always said it was a long shot," Wilson says. "No, I didn't expect to win." Still, he figured he'd have fun running, because he was fed up with what he called "all the shenanigans" at the Houston Community College System. As a conservative white Republican running in a district whose voters are overwhelmingly black Democrats, the odds seemed overwhelmingly against him. Then he came up with an idea, an advertising strategy that his opponent found "disgusting." If a white guy didn't have a chance in a mostly African-American district, Wilson would ...

Teachers’ Unions Hold American Children HostagePost Date: 2013-06-16 11:32:35 by CZ824 Comments Teachers Unions Hold American Children Hostage Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, now famous within the political world for taking on the public sector unions said: The unions say last hired  first fired; we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom. There is a definite difference between private sector unions and public sector unions. Many people dont recognize the difference, or even know that there is a difference at all. On one hand, you have a group of workers forming a union in order to balance out the power of their superiors. They band together so that they can make legitimate demands, without fear ...

This year, Snickers, a porcupine, stood in for Alaskas furry ground squirrel at a celebration in Portage at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. AWWC says, like his Punxsutawney cousin, the "prickly favorite" did not see his shadow, which means an early spring. Sen. Linda Menard, R-Wasilla, sponsored the bill in 2009 and former Governor Sarah Palin signed Marmot Day into law and it became an Alaskan ...

Congress Should be Looking at The "VALUES CLARIFICATION" CARRICULA IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEMSELVES Before Blaming Guns for School ShootingsPost Date: 2012-12-20 00:58:46 by Coral Snake1 CommentsCongress Should be Looking at The "VALUES CLARIFICATION" CARRICULA IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEMSELVES Before Blaming Guns for School Shootings A Covenantal Action Corps Report By Coral Snake Government has overlooked a very important factor in the problem with school shootings. This is the "Values Clarification" Carricula of THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEMSELVES. These carricula have probably done more to lower the value of human life amongst children who eventually become adults than ANY of the other factors mentioned in news reports about the recent Newtown school shooting and that includes violent video games, the availability of "assault weapons" and all the ...

Yet another point on how the "public" (government monopoly) schools fail our kids Post Date: 2012-12-06 20:49:29 by jwpegler0 Comments There are 3 million jobs going begging in American today, even though 20 million people are unemployed or under-employed. Unfortunately, Americans don't have the skills to fill these jobs. This is entirely the fault of the government. The public (government monopoly) school system has failed our kids in two different ways: First, it doesn't provide the math and science background needed for the best and brightest to enter science, math, engineering, or computer science programs in college. Second, it completely fails everyone else by allowing people to slack off for three or four years in high school, taking worthless classes when they should be learning a vocational skill that ...

Secretary of Education Pushes to De-Value College DegreesPost Date: 2012-07-15 11:00:23 by CZ820 Comments Secretary of Education Pushes to De-Value College Degrees July 14, 2012 by Giacomo No matter what the item, product, or service is, the more people that have it, the less valuable it becomes individually. Collectibles are only really valuable when there is a limited quantity of them. Some years back, baseball trading cards and Beanie Babies were all the rage, but once the market got flooded with them, values plunged and some investors lost thousands of dollars. The same is true with items like computers and cell phones. In the early days, they were expensive and often a sign of prestige to own one. Then more and more people found ways to afford them and costs of producing them dropped ...

No Child’ Law Whittled Down by White HousePost Date: 2012-07-13 06:18:18 by CZ820 CommentsNo Child Law Whittled Down by White House By MOTOKO RICH Published: July 6, 2012 In just five months, the Obama administration has freed schools in more than half the nation from central provisions of the No Child Left Behind education law, raising the question of whether the decade-old federal program has been essentially nullified. On Friday, the Department of Education plans to announce that it has granted waivers releasing two more states, Washington and Wisconsin, from some of the most onerous conditions of the signature Bush-era legislation. With this latest round, 26 states are now relieved from meeting the lofty  and controversial  goal of making all ...

Tenn. law restricting sex-ed could serve as national modelPost Date: 2012-07-08 17:29:52 by CZ820 CommentsTenn. law restricting sex-ed could serve as national model Posted on Jul 5, 2012 | by John Evans NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP) -- State legislators in Tennessee have made it official: Sex toys and graphic promotions of sexual activity are not welcome in public schools. With the signing into law of SB 3310 by Gov. Bill Haslam, public schools that teach sex education classes must emphasize abstinence, and teachers are barred from promoting "gateway sexual activity" that encourages students to sexually experiment.

Public Schools Get No Confidence VotePost Date: 2012-06-25 21:39:57 by CZ821 Comments Public Schools Get No Confidence Vote posted on June 25, 2012 by Giacomo For those of you who attended public school in the 1960s and early 1970s, you experienced an educational system far different from that of today. In the 60s and early 70s, teachers still had authority to actually teach and discipline students. If a student turned in failing material, the teacher didnt hesitate to give little Johnny an F or even hold him back a grade. Educators believed that educating Johnny was more important than making him feel good about himself. If a student was disruptive, they were handily dealt with. If they got violent, they were often expelled from school. It wasnt uncommon ...

Expensive but Useless College Degrees in Narrcissistic Self-AwarenessPost Date: 2012-06-18 20:37:34 by CZ823 CommentsExpensive but Useless College Degrees in Narrcissistic Self-Awareness Written on Monday, June 18, 2012 by David L. Goetsch Born in 1950, I grew up in an era when going to college was a privilege, not a birthright funded by the federal government. During this era, a college degree was viewed as a launching pad to a successful career. People went to college to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, accountants, financiers, business leaders, and scientists. They pursued college degrees to gain an advantage over the competition in their respective professions. This is still the case for some students, but for a growing number of high school graduates, college has become nothing more ...

Boy Scouts Stick to Their Guns, Refuse to Change Policy on GaysPost Date: 2012-06-15 16:49:39 by CZ8212 Comments Boy Scouts Stick to Their Guns, Refuse to Change Policy on Gays June 9, 2012 by Tad Cronn The Boy Scouts are refusing to change their policy on not allowing openly gay people to serve in Scouting in any capacity. The media recently have been panting over the possibility that the Boy Scouts might finally fold on their stance of upholding traditional moral values as activists tried new ploys to get gays into Scouting. That gays want to change the Boy Scouts to suit themselves is nothing new. Several years ago, the Supreme Court had to weigh in on the issue and stood by the organizations right to not associate with people who dont uphold its clear values. The most recent ...

The Speech You Never HeardPost Date: 2012-06-11 18:49:31 by We The People10 CommentsThe Speech You Never Heard June 7, 2012 "I think also, that general virtue is more probably to be expected and obtained from the education of youth, than from exhortations of adult persons; bad habits and vices of the mind being, like diseases of the body, more easily prevented than cured. I think moreover, that talents for the education of youth are the gift of God; and that he on whom they are bestowed, whenever a way is opened for use of them, is as strongly called as if he heard a voice from heaven..." --Benjamin Franklin Patriots, I am in New Orleans today at the World War II Museum with my favorite War II Vet, my father.

Romney calls K-12 education ‘the Civil Rights issue of our era’Post Date: 2012-06-05 07:05:03 by CZ820 Comments Romney calls K-12 education the Civil Rights issue of our era by David Harsanyi, June 4, 2012 With all the noise about private equity and public waste, many people missed the unveiling of Mitt Romneys education platform at the Latino Coalitions Annual Economic Summit in Washington D.C. late last month. Education, explained Romney, was the civil rights issue of our era and, like many presidential hopefuls, he declared the nations failing education system in need of dramatic reform. This contention is only partially true, of course. Government-run education is failing; and it typically fails those who are supposed to benefit the most: the poor. ...
